CORPORATE INTELLIGENCE
Corporate Intelligence
Enter a company name and a country. Investigate businesses worldwide through that country's own public records, in its own language.
The real obstacle in assessing a foreign counterparty or checking on an investment is simple: you know neither that country's registration system nor its language. With Factdock you enter a company name and a country — or the official site URL — and the investigation runs from the public registries and disclosure portals of some fifty jurisdictions, in the local official language and in English at once. And because a list of candidate companies is shown first, so you can check locations and officers before fixing on one, the search cannot quietly end up examining a different company with the same name.

The right company is confirmed first; the detailed investigation follows.
Registries and disclosure portals queried
Findings
Risk: CautionBasic profile
Founding year, capital, headquarters and line of business were confirmed from public sources. Headcount was not stated anywhere, so the field is left blank.
Corporate structure
One parent and two affiliates confirmed. The ultimate controlling interest could not be traced from public sources.
Official and legal trouble
No administrative penalty or litigation record was found.
Misconduct and quality
One product recall notice was found, with its cause and remedy stated.
Local reputation
Several counterparty reviews in the local language; opinion is divided.
A worked example using invented companies. It bears no relation to any real business or organisation, and any similarity of name is coincidental. No links are shown and no URL is displayed. Not the result of a live investigation.
What this tool does
Two-step identification, so you never investigate the wrong company
Enter the name, the country or the official site and a list of candidates appears first. You compare locations and officers, settle on the right entity, and only then move to the detailed investigation — so there is no risk of examining a same-named company or a subsidiary by mistake.
Risk assessed from five angles
The investigation covers five pillars — basic profile, corporate structure, official and legal trouble, misconduct and quality issues, and local reputation — and returns a clear verdict of safe, caution or high. Only public information is organised, and anything that could not be confirmed is left blank rather than filled in by guesswork.
Around fifty countries' public portals, queried thoroughly in the local language
The local official language and English are used together, going directly to the primary sources that each country's commercial register and disclosure regime actually provide. From a single-country check to a global one spanning headquarters and overseas sites, the living public record — and the trustworthy local material around it — comes out smoothly.
Deep analysis reaching officers and capital structure
Officers' backgrounds and public risk, and shareholders' stakes and type (corporate, individual, fund and so on), are laid out as a hierarchical tree so the effective controlling interest becomes visible. Every item carries its source link, so you can always return to the primary document.
Where it's used
“When you want a first pass over a new overseas counterparty's existence and trustworthiness before signing”
“When an acquisition or an investment calls for a precise picture of who ultimately controls the company and how the capital is held”
“When litigation, administrative penalties or quality problems have only been reported locally, and you want to check in that country's language”
“When you want to confirm from the registry and disclosures whether a counterparty's officers carry any public trouble or concern”
Before you use this
First-stage support for credit checks and due diligence
This engine does not determine or warrant a company's creditworthiness. It exists to organise public records and primary sources quickly, so that professional judgement and investigation are strongly supported. Reach the final decision with the primary documents in hand and a professional's expertise alongside.
Strict data handling, nothing kept on our servers
The company name, the search conditions and the results are never permanently stored on Factdock's servers. Data held temporarily for processing is discarded as soon as the investigation session ends, so even a highly confidential enquiry can be run with confidence.
